It’s probably safe to say that Joe Eszterhas will never work with Mel Gibson again. The screenwriter of the upcoming film The Maccabees said that his son recorded Mel Gibson’s “violent” behavior, remarks which Gibson has denied making. Joe Eszterhas’s collaboration with Gibson on The Maccabees, first went south when Gibson revealed that he was hoping to make a movie “that would convert the Jews to Christianity.” In addition to the anti-Semitism, Eszterhas said Gibson shared a “pornographic scenario” with Ezsterhas’s 15-year-old son, which the screenwriter said is “heinous.” Ezsterhas said his son took to sleeping with a butcher knife under his pillow out of fear of Gibson.
